At least in the US. Hopefully other countries do better.

dude, .04 is a joke and an excuse for police to harass. MADD ceased being about safety and has been money generation for decades now. This all has been a classic case of imposing new laws instead of simply enforcing the old ones, like gun control and some other things i can think of.

The legal limit is .08 in most places. It should be 0. There should be no alcohol in anyone's blood stream when they are driving, no exceptions.

You're as poorly informed as you are clever.

[–] TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Because I don't think people should be allowed to drive drunk?

[–] Sagifurius@lemm.ee -4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Neither do I, but that's not the point you've been making. You're still poorly informed on the laws, spreading misinformation mixed with what you want things to be

[–] TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How am I spreading misinformation? Generally speaking the legal limit is .08 in Canada.

[–] Sagifurius@lemm.ee -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

.04 is the general rule now, and this is not uncommon knowledge.

[–] TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

According to my provinces website it is a range between .04 and .08.

I know, why are you telling me what I was bringing to your attention?

[–] TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're telling me I am wrong and spreading misinformation when it says on the website I am not wrong. If I am wrong so are you.

[–] Sagifurius@lemm.ee -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You gibbering idiot, you were making the claim .04 wasn't a thing before.

[–] TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I never did, I said generally the limit is .08 and that is the truth. I concede that I was unaware it was a limit range, but you claimed the limit was .04, which is either just as wrong as my initial number or just as right.

[–] Sagifurius@lemm.ee -2 points 10 months ago

It is most places. You seriously have no idea what you're talking about.
